Product Description

The Holman Christian Standard Bible: SOLO is designed to change how you interact with God's Word. This innovative devotional revolves around lectio divina (divine reading), an ancient approach to exploring Scripture, and uses conversational language and a simple plan to make the practice interesting and accessible. Each of the 312 devotions delivers a unique, contemplative study that will encourage you to: Read, Think, Pray, and Live. Features include:-312 devotions featuring passages from the Holman Christian Standard Bible-An introduction to the lectio divine style of study, teaching you how to Read, Think, Pray and Live Scripture-A topical index for finding issues that impact your life-Numbered devotions so you can start any day of the year-A time of rest every seventh day

I have only been using this devotional for a month. (you can start any time, the studies are numbered instead of dated) The format (read, think, pray, live) helps me apply each study to something going on my life nearly every day. I also appreciate the order of the lessons. They begin "in the beginning" and proceed toward "Come, Lord Jesus". I don't mean it covers every chapter and verse, but it does touch --I think-- every book.

Now this is exactly what I would expect from a devotional. It is all on you to get what is needed from it, and you have numerous avenues to see it from with each passing day.

This is not a read and move on to the next thing in your daily agenda, it is a sit down devotional that requires a lot of effort, and self-reflection to get through. If you don't want to take a look at yourself, and find areas where repentance, and or correction may or may not be needed, then pass right by this, and find something superficial, that requires no worship of Him.
